Survey Questions – A comprehensive survey questionnaire should have both open ended and close ended questions, to get actionable data based on quantitative analysis and derive new ideas from qualitative short questions.

You should always use simple and direct language. Be extremely focused and specific, leaving no scope for ambiguity. Be consistent and cover almost all answers. There should be clarity and transparency without complicated jargons. Try to be neutral in surveys without indulging in leading or evocative language.
